(...) I can. You are using a 2.6.10 kernel at best (that's what FC3 updates have), and the bug is triggered by changes made to the i2c-algo-bit driver somewhere between 2.6.10 and 2.6.11. So it's not surprising that you don't see any problem. Note that the version of the media/video drivers you use is not relevant here. The bug has been there for over a year, but the code path where it lies was never taken until i2c-algo-bit was updated recently. What matters is the version of i2c-algo-bit. So as long as you don't move to a 2.6.11 kernel, don't even bother trying my patches, because you will never hit the code that I am trying to fix.
